Advantages
SpeedServiceComfortDisadvantages
PriceBoard bistroCleanlinessThe train journey from Wuppertal to Frankfurt went well. The train was fast, comfortable and the friendliness of the staff on board was top. The price was a little high, but still better than the price of a comparable car journey. Unfortunately, the on-board bistro was not optimally stocked on my journey. Another negative aspect was the untidiness in one compartment. All in all, I would choose Deutsche Bahn again for this route at any time.
